Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle

"【Freedom to Journey】, the Green Register, enables the recipient to feel as light as a cloud, to fly without support, and to move as if floating in the air without any support."

"It can broaden one's spiritual awareness, increase one's speed of escape, conceal one's form, and allow one to blend into the vast emptiness, enabling the recipient to travel unpredictably and appear elusive."

After reading it, Han Jieliu pondered to himself.

"As expected of the Azure Talisman, the life energy on it is much more abundant than that of the previous White Talisman. It is a talismanic energy that can increase escape speed and make one adept at moving and concealing oneself..."

Han Jieliu then looked at the second path.

"【Startling Wind and Scattered Sun】, both are Green Talismans. When the recipient moves, their body transforms into a startling wind, as swift as a galloping bird. When they move, they move up and down with force, blowing away the sunlight."

"Running east and west, fleeting scenes vanish into the distance; how fierce the wind is, how quickly the sun sets!"

"This talisman is close to pure Qi, which counteracts Yang, and can enhance the cultivator's movements, allowing them to move quickly or slowly, and to exert force lightly or heavily. Both are enhanced and integrated into one."

"The downside is that if the recipient overuses the spell, it will shorten their lifespan."

After reading the second talisman, Han Jieliu immediately made up his mind.

"Although this second [Startling Wind and Drifting Sun] has some drawbacks, such as shortening lifespan, its effects are just too suitable for our family head, Han Jinwei."

"It can both increase his escape speed, which suits the artistic conception of his Azure Sword Qi, and enhance the sword Qi and sword light, making it even more powerful."

"Once this Azure Scroll is bestowed, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will greatly increase. As long as one doesn't engage in daily battles, lifespan shouldn't be a problem."

And most importantly, I can see this from my own interpretation of the talismanic energy.

Such obscure and ambiguous wording is hardly the kind of introduction one would expect from an ordinary Qinglu (a type of Chinese talisman).

If you say it's a yellow talisman, I'd believe it myself; there might even be some mysterious secrets within its energy.

"From this, it seems that the Pure Qi path is related to the [Three Yang] lineage? It is said that several of the True Men of Xiaowei Mountain in the past also cultivated Pure Qi..."

Han Jieliu made his decision, put aside his doubts, and immediately pointed gently at the spot he had chosen.

Then they saw the [Wandering Without Roots] gently dissipate, while [Startling Wind and Drifting Sun] immediately solidified, transforming into a completed talisman that floated in the small black bottle.

Han Jieliu put away the small black bottle and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing unexpected had happened.

"After returning, I will find an opportunity to give this talisman to the patriarch. The talisman's energy can help him break through his cultivation level. He has been at the sixth level of Qi Refining for a long time, so he should be able to break through soon."

"Given Han Jinwei's character and temperament, and the connection to the Han family by blood, it shouldn't be a problem."

Han Jieliu calculated the time and realized that there were still three days until the day to pay the tribute, so he was not in a hurry.

He cast a spirit stone into the formation and sat down to cultivate quietly.

······

Three days later, Han Jieliu opened his eyes, gently used his magic to withdraw the array from the room.

He looked at the array flags in his hand, with broad, square white jade handles.

I've had this [White Jade Cold Array] for a long time, having obtained it from the Hermit of Xiling. I've used it many times, but I always feel there's something strange about it.

Although it is of medium quality in Qi Refining, it does not have any special functions.

Despite being described as a defensive formation, its effectiveness was mediocre, and it consumed a considerable amount of resources.

Aside from its pure white color and its striking appearance reflecting the cold, it has no other merits. Even the recluse of Xiling used it to block the gate of his mansion.

As for the other functions, Han Jieliu didn't discover any of them.

"Aside from having a lot of array flags, this [White Jade Cold Array] really doesn't have anything particularly outstanding about it."

"Logically speaking, given Xiling Sanren's mastery of array formations, capable of setting up such a powerful array as the Yimai Yingkan Array, he shouldn't have brought out such a magical artifact..."

Han Jieliu stopped thinking about it. He now had many methods, completely different from when he first left the sect, and didn't need any protective formations.

A mid-grade Qi-refining array is much more valuable than a magic weapon, and replacing it is also troublesome. I'll just use the [White Jade Cold Array] I have for now.

Han Jieliu left the room and happened to run into the young man Wang Jinghan walking down the corridor.

"Brother Han."

Wang Jinghan cupped his hands in greeting, his face showing a more relaxed expression, clearly having completed the matters entrusted to him by his family, and even his breathing became much more relaxed.

Han Jieliu noticed the gloomy aura subtly emanating from the moisture on his body and sighed in dismay.

"Brother Jinghan, we two are truly destined to meet. Let us go together to the Sendai Platform."

"Brother Han, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Han Jieliu and Wang Jinghan went up to the towering building to the east.

Once you reach the eastern part of the city, there are no longer any rules prohibiting flying.

The two arrived at the foot of the Jiexiantai Terrace and looked up. They saw that the terrace was very tall and divided into two sections.

There are steps on the middle floor of the building, allowing you to climb up one step at a time.

Further up, all that's left is an empty expanse of interwoven copper bars; the only way to get there is to ride the wind.

"This can be considered as separating the Fetal Breathing and Qi Refining families, since the immortals are of different ranks and the offerings they receive are also different."

Han Jieliu and Wang Jinghan rode the wind upwards and landed on the rooftop.

Before me lay a vast, flat platform, its base adorned with mountain-like patterns, and a ethereal mist swirled around it, clearly a symbol of Xiaowei Mountain.

However, much of the design has been erased and replaced with another logo.

A figure knelt on the ground, holding a candle flame in his hands around his neck. The flame was soft and smooth, flowing down his shoulders like silk.

Han Jieliu couldn't figure out what it meant, but he felt it was related to the Hao family's lineage.

Looking ahead, one could see only two or three cultivators scattered on the platform, including cultivators from the Yuan family.

The Yuan family cultivator was dressed in black, with what appeared to be soft armor underneath, and his expression was serious.

He was at the very front, eyes closed, adjusting his breathing, seemingly unaware of what was happening on the stage.

Both of them noticed the black-clad cultivator from the Yuan family, but remained silent.

Han Jieliu only heard Wang Jinghan whisper in his ear.

"This Yuan family cultivator is called Yuan Chenghu. He is at the mid-stage of Qi Refining and guards the Jiaoyu Road for the Yuan family in the north of Huannan Ridge. He cultivates the Earth Virtue path and is very skilled in combat."

"It is said that he has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and is the closest cultivator in the Yuan family to the late stage of Qi Refining, apart from Yuan Yingtuan."

The Yuan family truly lives up to its reputation as a long-established family; they certainly have a rich heritage.

Even excluding Yuan Yingtuan, the number of cultivators in the clan is much stronger than the other two clans in Huannan.

Not to mention that they have a blood feud with the Han family, and if the Han family wants to rise in the future, they will inevitably have to fight against them.

Speaking of this, Han Jieliu thought of Yuan Yingtuan from the Yuan family.

When he returned to his clan, he heard that he had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. Now, five years have passed, why has he not broken through yet?

"According to Han Jinwei, he has a cold and aloof personality. Could it be that after breaking through, he abandoned his family to seek a Foundation Establishment opportunity?"

"Or are you secretly lurking in the mountains, waiting for an opportunity to swallow up both of our families..."

Han Jieliu was still thinking when he noticed several more cultivators flying up behind him.

With the addition of two or three more, the number of Qi-refining families under the Hao family's rule is now complete.

Then, the cultivators from the several immortal clans who knew each other greeted each other with clasped hands and began to chat familiarly.

But the sound didn't last long. A cultivator from the Hao family, dressed in a light vermilion robe, walked up to the platform with a roster, causing all the cultivators on the platform to fall silent.
